An absolutely first-rate Cabernet that not only shows the big tannins and ageworthiness of Howell Mountain, but is made in a dry style that calls to mind a fine Left Bank Bordeaux. It's a big wine, voluminous in tannins and extremely mouth-filling, and the blackberry and cassis flavors have elements of dried herbs, minerals, tobacco and cedar. Already throwing some sediment, it should develop in the bottle for at least the next eight years.
